The Dreams Of Candlelight

(Fate then reminded him
That music was not the only debt
He owed the city of Vienna
It was there that he first met
The Harsburg Princess Theresa
And how their lives became entwined
By a love that became immortal
And still echoes now through time

Together, Fate and Beethoven watch the composer as a young man falling in love with the Princess Theresa.)

(THERESA)

Could this night it last forever
Every moment held together
As if in a perfect trance
And such a thing could be

No one else would understand it
We would know the gods had planned it
And for such a night as this
That they gave memory

And we would live inside this night
Within the dreams of candlelight
If you would bring this wish to life
And spend this night with me

Could this moment last forever
And this dream our one endeavor
If the stars would just enchant
And time would then agree

Every moment of tomorrow
From this evening we would borrow
If this wish the stars would grant
And gently oversee

And me would live inside this night
Within the dreams on candlelight
If you would bring this wish to life
And spend this night with me
